Unleash the power of Intel Core i7-900 series processors with the DX58SO. View larger. Unleash the Power of Intel's Core i7 Series Processors With the Intel Core i7 processors, Intel engineers introduced a revolutionary new style of micro-architecture. They removed the front side bus -- a longtime staple of processor design -- and replaced it with a new technology known as QuickPath Interconnect (QPI). As a result of these changes, only motherboards with the new LGA1366 socket can support Core i7 processors.
The DX58SO features the LGA1366 socket, and has been specifically designed to make the most of the Intel Core i7 processor's power. It incorporates special over-clocking hardware, which allows users to push their computer's performance to its limit. However, please note that the LGA1366 socket is only compatible with Core i7-900 series processors. Those with Core i7-800 series and Core i5-700 series should instead purchase a motherboard with the LGA1156 port (such as the Intel DP55KG).
Optimize Performance with Intel Desktop Control Center The Intel Desktop Control Center makes it easy for you to do more with your desktop board than ever before. With just one click of a button, this tool automatically tunes the processor, memory, and bus speed for maximum stability and performance. The Desktop Control Center also lets you monitor your system temperature while giving you control over voltages and fan speeds. Multi-GPU Support for Ultimate Graphical Performance PC gaming is more immersive than ever before, but it is also much more hardware-intensive. Behind those beautiful, next-generation visuals are thousands of rapid calculations that the graphics card has to process. The DX58SO fully supports NVIDIA SLI and ATI CrossFire technologies, which allow users to utilize two graphics cards and increase the GPU output. This added graphical power eliminates frame-rate hiccups and slowdowns, delivering the smooth and uninterrupted gaming experience users have always wanted.
Loaded with Memory, PCI, and Peripheral Support With dozens of ports and connectors, the DX58SO gives computer enthusiasts the flexibility they need to build their dream machine. It offers support for 1600 MHz, 1333 MHz, and 1066 MHz variants of DDR3 memory.
